Motorcyclists in the Western
Cape have been warned about transporting small
children on the back of their motorbikes.

Western Cape MEC of Transport and
Public Works Robin Carlisle said this was highly dangerous and is also in
violation of the regulation of the National Roads Traffic Act.

Ministerial Spokesperson Siphesihle
Dube said several incidents have shown that
children have no supporting gear, no helmet protecting them from any danger.

He added that traffic authorities
and the City of Cape Town will
track these culprits down and arrest them.
